Sevilla have extended their unbeaten run to five matches in La Liga with a 2-0 victory away to Almeria.

A frantic start to the game saw Sevilla forward Carlos Bacca have a goal ruled out for offside before Tomer Hemed was denied at the other end when his shot was blocked by Nicolas Pareja.

Almeria had a good chance to take the lead midway through the opening 45 minutes as both teams continued to attack, but Corona's wicked cross was beaten away by goalkeeper Beto.

A final opportunity of the first half fell the way of the visitors as Bacca picked out Jose Antonio Reyes, whose curled effort went narrowly wide of the post.

Sevilla made the breakthrough a little over 10 minutes after the restart when a clever passing move around the penalty box ended with Vicente Iborra lashing the ball into the bottom corner from 20 yards.

Their advantage was doubled just five minutes later, with Coke arriving in the area to convert from close range.

Chances were few and far between during the remaining 25 minutes, but Almeria came close to reducing the deficit late on through Hemed's effort, before Javier Espinosa had his shot kept out by Beto.
